GRID 2 Gameplay Trailer Features Mustang Race

Codemasters released the first gameplay footage from their racer GRID 2 this morning. It shows a race between two muscle cars on a strip of American road.

The Boss Mustang and Mustang Mach 1 are racing along the California coast. It's a long and winding road with plenty of attractive scenery to distract. The road looks a bit crowded even with two cars so I imagine this map will be downright chaotic with a larger group of cars.

The entire race is seen from the bonnet cam view. Codemasters caused some controversy this summer by stating that they wouldn't include cockpit views in the game. They claimed that cockpit cams would hinder their efforts to push the visuals.

GRID 2 will arrive next summer on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. The footage below is pre-alpha so the final game might look very different.
